:Okay, those suggestions are quite good so I'll get to them soon. Also, where is this place we can use to propose and discuss categories? I think it'd be best to have a central location for that kind of discussion. I am quite literally an 'idea generator' so my pool of ideas are just waiting to be unleashed. Thanks, once again. :P

Revision as of 19:28, 27 April 2007

Hello

Hi Chief of Staff, welcome to Grand Theft Wiki, about your site working with this site, you would have to talk to Xenon about that, who owns the site, if you have any questions about this site just ask me, user:xenon, or user:47, thanks. George 17:33, 27 April 2007 (BST)

Actually, I don't technically "own" the site I hails from. My guess is that, given the fact it's hosted on wikia.com, the owner would be Wikimedia Foundation, the very same one that owns and operates Wikipedia, Wiktionary, et cetera. So, I was only offering the "gesture" but that I don't have authorization to discuss those matters on their behalf. For that matters, I think it's up to our administrators, which would be Thai420, for English version anyway.
We understand. Although Wikia was set up by the same people as the Wikimedia Foundation - it is a separate company and not part of Wikimedia (which is non profit).

Categories

Just read your comment as I was about to type one here. Our categorization system is simple but it works for us. I appreciate you trying to help, but remember that these two sites have grown up differently. For example, what would go in the Geography category? We don't have many articles on the landscape of the games other than specific locations. If you have any suggestions, we'll discuss them - that's how stuff is done here. Xenon (Admin) talk 19:56, 27 April 2007 (BST)

Ah, okay, I understand. I will try my best adapting to this whole new, ahem, "landscape". :P But, thanks. I appreciate it. :) --Legion 19:59, 27 April 2007 (BST)

These are quite big changes (editing lots of pages), so discussion is really required. How is this for a suggestion: Category:Locations stores all the categories I list here; Category:Locations in GTA San Andreas stores every single location in GTA San Andreas (every village and district), same with Category:Locations in GTA Vice City and Category:Locations in GTA III and Category:Locations in GTA Liberty City Stories and Category:Locations in GTA Vice City Stories and Category:Locations in GTA IV and Category:Locations in GTA1 and Category:Locations in GTA2. If a location is in more than one game (eg Washington Beach) then it can go in more than one category (VC and VCS). We can even use Category:Cities to list only the actual cities (but these don't need to be categories). The only slight problem is that Bohan won't be in a Liberty City category, because there is more than one Liberty City - it'll just be in the GTA IV category. We don't need cities and geography and stuff. Feel free to use this system here now. Xenon (Admin) talk 20:10, 27 April 2007 (BST)

Okay, those suggestions are quite good so I'll get to them soon. Also, where is this place we can use to propose and discuss categories? I think it'd be best to have a central location for that kind of discussion. I am quite literally an 'idea generator' so my pool of ideas are just waiting to be unleashed.

I also want to add that we have rather excessive amount of uncategorized pages and uncategorized categories, both of which can be found via Special pages. In addition, I would like to recommend creating Districts categories for each of cities respectively, if possible. As for Locations categories for each cities, normally I would have used "Places" instead of "Locations" in its place within naming of those categories but I guess that's alright.
